Attu – Forgotten Alaskan Island

Does Anyone Go to Attu?

This Alaskan island has no one living on it now. Where the heck is Attu, anyway?

It’s the farthest out of all the Aleutian Islands. Or is it furthest?

The bears are probably still there. I mean it’s barely possible.

The war memorial remains.

Chief Big Mike and Family

Was it famous? Well, during WWII, the Japanese took over Attu. It was the only US land the Japanese captured during the war.

I’m afraid the chief knew way too much about the war since all the people were kicked off the island.

Not that there were that many people but it was home.

This means War

Anyway, the point was that even if no one knew where Attu was, they knew it was a part of America! National pride said we had to kick them off that forsaken island. It was a cold rotten job to do that but they did do just that and in the process discovered why no one was spending their summer vacation there.
